Perfect service for you and your customers

A payment process is good when it works conveniently and smoothly for the customer and when it reduces your workload. The integrated cash till solutions from Concardis are made for seamless integration into existing systems. That means extra service for your customers and less work for you.

Fully integrated cash till systems for your business

Much has changed since the invention of the cash register in 1879: ‘payment’ has taken on a whole new meaning; bricks-and-mortar shops transitioned into online business; and traditional cash drawers were replaced by modern cash till systems. But that is not where the progress stops: international e-commerce, innovative wallet solutions and the increasing popularity of card payments have made it necessary to expand and to network existing systems – an integrated cash till solution is the answer.

What defines an integrated cash till solution?

The merger of two systems

A good cash till solution must be integrated in two respects: first, a cash register or cash till system has to be combined with additional hardware and software to form a holistic system; Second, this system must be seamlessly incorporated into an existing or newly built infrastructure. Only then can it be ensured that operation will be simplified, the customer experience will be improved and, as a result, sales will be increased.

As your cash till system provider, Concardis can offer you both services. We provide you with the necessary peripheral devices and advise you on the specific needs of your industry – after all, an efficient payment solution must be perfectly tailored to the type of business. As a hotelier, for example, you benefit from our Concardis Payment Gateway with integrated Oracle MICROS interface, which is implemented seamlessly into your existing back-office system. This allows you to manage your sales and booking processes within the same solution.

Additionally, we offer cash till solutions for the following industries, among others:

Buying a cash till system: everything you need

Regardless of which economic sector you operate in, your professional cash till solution should not be without the following devices and functions:

Cash register system

The cash register is the heart of your payment solution, and all peripheral devices are connected to it. For use in retail, the cash till, monitor, customer display and receipt printer are among the most important hardware components. In the restaurant business, for example, dispensing equipment and a kitchen monitor are also necessary. Additionally, the checkout system also includes the respective software for managing checkout processes and documenting all business transactions – either locally, on an external server or over an encrypted connection to the cloud of the checkout system provider.

Input device

A checkout system is only as good as its usability. There are various technical solutions to this end: the standard combination of keyboard and mouse is largely self-explanatory and individually programmable. By comparison, an intuitive touchscreen can noticeably accelerate navigation of the checkout software – payment processes using a barcode scanner are even faster. Which input device you ultimately choose is only dependent upon your preferences.

Card reader

The card reader has a particular importance in modern cash till solutions, because the ability to pay using cards has long been a matter of course for many customers. For this reason, your checkout system should, at the very least, include a fixed card reader that is ready for use immediately with a LAN cable and plug-and-play functionality. In contrast, if your point of sale is somewhere other than the sales counter, or even outside of your shop area, you need a handheld model such as the Concardis Move 5000 or the Mobile Premium card reader. The mark of a true POS cash till system is, primarily, mobile payment terminals that can be used while talking to the customer or flexibly while on the go.

Every Concardis card reader is compatible with all common debit and credit cards, is PCI-certified and, thanks to NFC technology, even works for contactless transactions. And mobile payments are not a problem: thanks to Optipay, your customers can also make payments using their smartphone with Google Pay, Apple Pay or even Alipay – your customers from China will thank you.

Receipt printer

Receipt printers that are integrated into the checkout system or the card reader generate purchase receipts and cash codes for your customers at the press of a button. Dot matrix printers are cheaper in comparison; however, we recommend the significantly faster thermal printers, which are also less susceptible to disruptions.

Additional functions

Using practical additional functions, you can expand the scope of services provided by your integrated cash till solution:

Dynamic currency conversion (DCC): Show your international customers the purchase price in their respective home currency, thereby saving them from having to do any mental maths.

Tax-Free: Enable your customers from other countries who have the corresponding eligibility to shop tax-free.

Tip function: Makes it possible to leave a tip even when paying with card.

Prepaid and voucher solution: This makes it possible to select prepaid balances and voucher codes directly at the payment terminal and to provide them to the customer in the form of a receipt.

With Concardis, you can simply book these functions and activate them overnight – without any additional hardware. Let our experts advise you.

Payment Gateway

Perfect integration in existing systems

Payment Gateway pays off.

Are your payments already processed using an existing system? As a hotelier, do you use a property management system (PMS)? As a retailer or restaurateur, do you use a point-of-sale (POS) checkout system? Then you need easy integration into your existing checkout system for the seamless processing of your payments.

Concardis Payment Gateway is the right payment solution for you, because it can be integrated using a tailored interface. Do you often have international customers who make use of tax-free shopping or guests from China who would like to pay using UnionPay and Alipay? With Concardis Payment Gateway, you have a Europe-wide solution that features the utmost in security, perfect process optimisation and first-class additional functions.
